If I die before I wake
Would you promise me just these things
Feed the cat from down the street
And fetch the morning paper please
Do it alone
Do it alone
Strip the sheets and wash those floors
And pack away my everything
Hang the blankets in the breeze
Fill the tub 'til it overflows
But do it alone
Do it alone
I don't ever wanna leave this to
The fates to decide for us
So while I'm here with you
I wanna make sure that you know
How I feel (about you)
I'd leave everything to you
Yeah
But since we're here and things are fine
Please be with me all the time
And this may sound cruel but in the end
You don't have me The I wish you would
Do it alone
Do it alone
Do it alone
Hey, Yeah, yeah, yeah
